Lepiota saponella is a species of agaric fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Found in France, it was described as new to science in 1994.[1]
The fruit bodies (mushrooms) closely resemble those of the widespread species Lepiota cristata. L. saponella can be distinguished by its soapy smell, dingy buff-coloured gills, and smaller scales on the cap surface. Microscopically, its spores are more triangular than those of L. cristata.[2]
